Why UPMC Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh?

Read what our fellows and faculty are saying about the Fellowship Program.

Our Faculty

I came to Children’s for a few reasons:

  • The high caliber colleagues I would be joining: what impressed me even more was the fact that these truly intelligent, excellent physicians were humble and consummate team players;
  • The opportunity to augment a clinical program that had done incredibly well due to existing leadership, and
  • The chance to mentor the next generation of academics pediatric gastroenterologists in multiple areas: clinical care, quality improvement, research, and advocacy.

Other things:

  • The vibrant nature of a city that continues to grow.
  • As a foodie, I have truly enjoyed the restaurant scene in Pittsburgh, especially Lawrenceville.
  • As someone who was a former concert pianist and has always loved the arts, I was excited to take advantage of all facets of the fine arts: the Carnegie Museums, the Pittsburgh Symphony, the theater/plays.”

"I was attracted to Children’s Hospital for the opportunity to lead a unique program (ICARE) that encompassed my area of interest. The trust and familiarity with the leadership of the GI division was a factor in my decision, not to mention that my extended family lives in Pittsburgh."

- Jeffrey Rudolph, MD

“I stayed because of the supportive atmosphere of the division, it’s record of steady growth and diversification, and the collegial environment.”

- Dale King, MD

“The Division has a family feel. Yes, it is known for its innovative medicine and world renown physicians however for me the real decision maker was how everyone is approachable, supportive, and kind. I found these to be invaluable attributes as a trainee and felt it would continue to help me learn and grow as a Junior Faculty member.”
